Your Paint Deserves Better Than a Drive-Through
Automated car washes scratch your paint with dirty brushes and skip half the car. Our exterior detail is done by hand, every time, with the right products for your vehicle's finish.
We wash, decontaminate, polish, and protect your paintwork so your car looks sharper and stays cleaner for longer. All of this comes to you, whether you are at home, at work, or anywhere else within our 30 mi range of Monterey.
Your Exterior Detail Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often from customers in Seaside, Carmel, and Monterey.
Yes, Elite Auto Detailing is a fully mobile service. We bring our equipment, water, and power directly to your home, office, or anywhere in the Monterey Peninsula, so you never have to leave your schedule to get your car detailed.
Pricing depends on vehicle size and package. Our Mini Detail starts at $100 for a coupe/sedan, our most popular Full Detail starts at $200, and our top tier Elite Detail starts at $350. SUVs and trucks/minivans are priced slightly higher due to the extra time and materials involved. Check our Pricing page for full details.
A Mini Detail usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, a Full Detail takes roughly 2.5 to 4 hours, and our Elite Detail or paint correction packages can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours depending on your vehicle's size and condition. We will give you a time estimate when you book.
Our Premium coating is rated for 3 years of protection, while our Elite 5-Year Coating offers the longest lasting gloss and protection against UV rays, dirt, and contaminants. Both include full paint decontamination and correction before application for the best possible bond and finish.
Paint correction is a machine polishing process that removes swirls, light scratches, and oxidation to restore clarity and gloss. If your paint looks dull or has visible scratches under sunlight, our 1-Stage Correction removes 60-70% of defects while our 2-Stage Correction removes 80-90% for a near showroom finish. It is also recommended before any ceramic coating application.
We are fully self sufficient with our own water supply and power, so we can detail your vehicle almost anywhere, including apartments, offices, and job sites.
You can book directly through our website, call us at (831) 717-8108, or email eliteautodetail831@gmail.com. We recommend booking a few days in advance, especially for paint correction and ceramic coating packages since they require longer service windows.
We are based in Monterey, CA and proudly serve the entire Monterey Peninsula, including surrounding cities. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, reach out and we will let you know.
We accept all major credit and debit cards, along with digital payment options. Payment is collected upon completion of the service.
The Mini Detail is a quick refresh covering an exterior wash, vacuum, and wipe down. The Full Detail adds deep interior cleaning, leather conditioning, and hydrophobic wax protection. The Elite Detail is our most comprehensive package, including full shampoo, steam cleaning, trim restoration, clay bar treatment, iron decontamination, and a premium ceramic sealant for the longest lasting results.
